The NBL regular season is done and there's plenty to dissect about the Cairns Taipans on The Pikey & Loughz Show with #TalkinTaipans also looking at the #NBL21 Finals and we have a special guest to talk about all the latest happenings.

First up on the latest Pikey & Loughz Show, co-hosts Chris Pike and Alex Loughton wrap up the last few games of the season for the Taipans which included a win in the final game in Cairns for the season against the finals bound South East Melbourne Phoenix.

That all leads into a fascinating discussion about Mojave King and his season as a Next Star with the Taipans and also discussing some of the other seasons of players including big finish of Nate Jawai, emergence of Tad Dufelmeier and consistency of Scott Machado.

The inevitable discussion then comes about the departure of Mike Kelly as Taipans coach after three seasons. We have an in-depth discussion about the circumstances behind that before Loughz runs his thoughts over potential replacements. That list featured Jamie O'Loughlin, Jamie Pearlman, Mick Downer, Adam Forde, CJ Bruton, Rob Beveridge and Adam Caporn.

It's then time for our special guest for this week and Loughz catches up with the man who is Australian basketball's most distinguished and respected journalist, the one and only Boti Nagy. They have a fascinating discussion catching up on all the latest happenings with the Taipans and beyond.

We are then back with Loughz providing his season predictions for the NBL Award winners and the Finals before we announce the winner of our Cairns Taipans MVP thanks to our MVP Tracker courtesy of Cairns Total Physio as we wrap up a jam packed episode of The Pikey & Loughz Show.
